the following categories:

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade.

Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual
item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the
same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers

NATO Leather straps
Depending on the much more material we need for the 320 mm long NATO straps we cannot use some of the smaller pistol holsters sorry.
16, 18, 20,22 mm NATO with pigskin backing will cost 149.- US $

Important Note: Vintage leather like the items we use here are always different and because its natural material with natural differences and different signs of wear, care and use we cannot guarantee that each strap look same or exactly like samples we show here. We cut many holsters, belts and jackets every week and they come in a wide range of colours as a result of use, care and aging and because they where made from different manufacturers over decades. Also such old holsters and leather items have manufacturer’s stamps or stitching holes from applications and construction. Our craftsmen use parts which have such original details and we use them as long as we can guarantee the leather is ok for a good quality strap.
It’s not possible to use just the “Fillet steak” from the middle of the holster otherwise the straps would cost 6 times more.
They are hand made and tolerances in size, measurements are normal too.
You have to accept this as a matter of fact when you order and that’s why we don’t exchange custom straps because of colour or texture differences or differences in size or measurements as long as they are in our tolerance.
After a factory order is made we don’t accept cancellation.
You need to be very patient (6 weeks minimum + shipping time) but its worth the wait.
Shipping to the states for one strap is 12,50 US $ by registered airmail.
EU Europeans + 19 % VAT
Shipping in Europe depends on the destination and post calculation.
